Review: White area save - Used and it works as decribed. Used to keep area white on watercolor paper.
Review: Easy to use, dark colors absorb into this material and look lighter - I wanted to paint a watercolor on a canvas board and this was a great product to use for my project. I gave my canvas 2 coats with a wide paint brush and it went down smooth and easily. I did like painting on it. The watercolor paints dry much quicker when applied on top of this material. Also it absorbs the color pigment more than regular watercolor paper. It took more time to get a dark color to stay dark when painting.

## Features

- Absorbent or semi-absorbent surfaces (such as paper, canvas, other fabrics, Wood, plaster, shells and hardboard) require no special prep before brushing on Daniel Smith watercolor ground
- Apply straight from container using a soft-haired synthetic brush for a smooth finish, or a hog bristle brush for a more textured finish, one coat will cover most surfaces
- Curing: to allow watercolor ground to attain the correct degree of absorption, let watercolor ground dry and cure for at least 24 hours
- Because it creates a surface more absorbent than paper, Daniel Smith works best in conjunction with lower-water paints, such as watercolors and thinned acrylics
- Finishing: as with all watercolors, your work on Daniel Smith watercolor ground will need to be fixed if it will not be Framed behind glass

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ White area save

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great base coat
*by A***K on May 19, 2025*

I'm still learning how to paint, always learning. This transparent goes on first and I love the way it preps the paper. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly how to explain what it does but it makes the paint from brush a bit smoother. And easier to correct any small mistakes or smudges, mostly if it's because it lifts a level of paint off the paper itself or what, I don't know. But great base coat.
